AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Following Trump tradition, FCC Chair Carr is trying to gas-light America. Carr is using his office to promote Trump and to censor speech that Trump doesn't want Americans to hear. If late-night TV shows are suddenly covered by the "equal time" rule, why aren't right-wing talk radio?

The way that Meta and YouTube designed their products — allegedly luring users into a nonstop loop of taps and scrolling — is at the heart of this month’s bellwether social media trial, which sets the stage for thousands of similar lawsuits.

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway. New: newrepublic.com/article/2066...

Oversight Democrats are not backing down. If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story. Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
